During the off season and even some during the season I still work some of the kids ball down at that level, from recreation to, the traveling leagues.
Most officials give an ample opportunity for teams to get set. However most officials also have little patience for lack of hustle or knowledge of what is going on on the court.

If the team is completely discombobulated (highly technical term meaning confused and disoriented) no amount of time is going to help the kids get in position, and a s soon as a player is in position to get the ball the official is going to put the ball at the disposal of the thrower.

If the throw in is at one end of the floor and the players are walking around with no intention of getting to the ball this week the official is going to put the ball on the floor.

So I would recommend a couple of things hustle into position and get the play called, the n have the thrower step into position – do not stand there for two seconds before calling break, and design simple plays to get the ball inbounds that do not take three - four seconds to develop just in case it is close and you have to get the ball in bounds quickly.

Even the in and out guys – rarely put the ball in play so fast that they end up with a violation because their goal is to keep the clock running all day long they do not want another delay.

So while the official might be quick coach, you just have to work a little quicker.
